Intent 2:

[Clauses (a) and (b)] To limit the probability that the automatic daylighting controls will not be properly calibrated, which could lead to the unnecessary operation of some or all of the general lighting, which could lead to unnecessary consumption of energy for lighting, which could lead to excessive use of energy, which could lead to an unacceptable effect on the environment.

Intent 3:

[Clause (c)] To limit the probability that the automatic daylighting controls will not adjust to available daylight, which could lead to the unnecessary operation of some or all of the general lighting, which could lead to unnecessary consumption of energy for lighting, which could lead to excessive use of energy, which could lead to an unacceptable effect on the environment.
